Agent Self-Care

Autonomous health monitoring and optimization for OpenClaw agents. Runs on cron or triggers manually.

Workflow

1. Check Sub-Agents

subagents action=list

Kill any stale sub-agents: - Running >30 min without progress - In "waiting" state - Failed/errored

2. Check Processes

process action=list

Kill hanging processes: - Running >10 min in background - No output in 5 min

3. Check Session Health

session_status

Metrics to watch: - Context usage >80% → trigger compaction - Tokens growing unbounded - Session age >2 hours → suggest refresh

4. Run Optimization Script

Execute scripts/optimize.sh which: - Clears completed cron job artifacts - Rotates logs if >50MB - Reports health metrics

5. BMAD Retrospective (every 10 runs)

After 10 executions, run: - Score last task 1-10 - Identify gaps - Document improvements in memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Feed learnings into next run

Cron Schedule

Recommended: Every 5 minutes for active agents.

  "payload": {"kind": "agentTurn", "message": "Run agent-self-care skill"},
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "enabled": true
}

Output Format

Report after each run:

🔧 Self-Care Report
- Sub-agents: X active, Y killed
- Processes: X running, Y cleared
- Context: X% used
- Health: ✅ GOOD / ⚠️ WARNING
- Retrospective: SKIP / COMPLETE

Key Principles

  1. Always clean - Never leave stalled sub-agents or processes
  2. Proactive - Don't wait for user to ask
  3. Document - Log issues and improvements
  4. BMAD - Continuous self-evaluation every 10 runs
  5. Fast - Complete in <30 seconds
